Welcome to SS Wimmera Blog – the companion site of The Wimmera Story.
In the last century and a half three ships have borne the name Wimmera. The first was a 19th century clipper ship that was to disappear without trace; the second was an early 20th century Australian steamship that has become one of our forgotten casualties of war; and the third was, or more correctly, nearly was, a warship of the Royal Australian Navy. This blog is intended to bring you the story of the steamship – the SS Wimmera.
